Hey :)

This last week was slow but really fast haha we did a lot of less-active finding. Alot of people asked for their names to be removed. It was sad to hear. Others wanted us to come around so we could get to know them. the best part of my week was half the zone got to go to the temple! We did a Session in the LONDON TEMPLE. Hopefully we can come back to do a session there one day :)  After the temple everyone got together to eat. Every district was assigned to make up a skit of some sort.. haha not one of the skits weren’t funny! Then Pres and Sis shamo talked to us! After that I got all my letters and presents!!! Agh such a relief to have finally got them! Elder Burton  and I had the biggest boxes and the most boxes as well! I felt good to know my mom loved me!! Have I ever told you about my Bonsai tree I bought?? Well we named him Moses and he is our Christmas tree! We water him every day and he is just great to stare at! il post a picture of him ;) yep so all my presents are under Moses being cared for mom :) This week for Christmas we have DAs every night which is wonderful! Plus around Christmas time we have tons of families that want us to go over! The ward sure is good to us :) I will be at the Hinds.. They are American! He is the manager for Microsoft over here! Pretty cool guy!  He is in charge of all the video games! My Skype name is jordan.max.jones   the password to it is the same one as this email! So go ahead and add me! You can get on the account to accept the request as well okay! We are thinking about calling you guys on Sunday around 6 or 7! I will call you guys before anything to make sure all is good :) You guys excited or what??  It will be great to see you guys! It has been a quick 4 months! I haven’t really been that homesick to be honest! it’s because you take good care of me soo that’s probably why I don’t feel homesick haha other than that in church one of the members said -- what i like to do around Christmas is to write 24 things why I love you--- I thought you and dad should do that next year! :) We should also spend our Christmas serving those around us! I guess i have never really seen the meaning of service until now! It means soo much to me to know i could do one thing for someone else that would make there week or day! :) I have also come to have a better relationship with our savior! I still want to make that relationship grow through my life! Burton and I decided we were going to make cookies for people in the ward and our investigators!! We bought 4 pounds of butter and 5 bags of sugar! Can’t go to wrong with that huh ?!?! ;) Let’s hope they turn out good lol Updates on our investigators.. Chris is doing better! We are hoping to set a date and he can work towards it. Addie who is our recent convert is doing amazing! We are taking him to the temple sometime to do baptism’s.. Elain uhh slowly she is getting up there. I guess that’s kind of it.. We have a few potentials but there still trying to find out what they are going to do with their lives.. Tell Evan I said thanks for always being kind to me.. He will always carry a spot in my heart.. Well your welcome! Choosing to be your son was great! hahaha and still is ;) Bishop was right! We do have a way good relationship! :) It will always get stronger as the years go by! <3 

Also I’m thankful for Pres Whetten! I sure do love him! I hope he knows that! I’m thankful he is taking care of my dad while i have been gone! The twin ;)  I always like hearing a good story! If there are any good stories tell people to write them to me :) it would be appreciated! I’m thankful for dad! :) Love you dad! When we went to the temple is snowed a lot the whole way there! But melted shortly after! I wish i would have gotten a picture or two, but since we were on the train I couldn’t really get a nice picture.. It is getting really cold, but I have a nice jacket that is way warm! No need to worry :) Please let me know how that experience goes for you :) The best moment I had this past week was to be in the temple and to socialize with all the missionaries! I still haven’t gotten the package with 17 Miracles! I’m sure I will get it soon :) Thanks for that Spiritual thought mom! I will def do those! It’s always good to have Reminders so that we can go back and improve! I glad I get to talk to you guys this week! I didn’t realize til a few days ago that I’m talking to you guys in a week! Pretty weird :) This week has been slow as in teaches and street contacting, but this week should be full of exciting things! Sure do love you guys! I will talk to you soon :)
